On one of the best stretches of the Mediterranean, this classic luxury destination is one of the most sought-after addresses in the world. With all the high-rise towers you have to look hard to find the Belle Époque grace of yesteryear. But if you head to the town's great 1864 landmark Hôtel de Paris—still a veritable crossroads of the buffed and befurred Euro-gentry—or enjoy a grand bouffe at its famous Louis XV restaurant, or attend the opera, or visit the ballrooms of the casino, you may still be able to conjure up Monaco's elegant past.

Livorno is a gritty city with a long and interesting history. In the early Middle Ages it alternately belonged to Pisa and Genoa. In 1421 Florence, seeking access to the sea, bought it. Cosimo I (1519–74) started construction of the harbor in 1571, putting Livorno on the map. After Ferdinando I de' Medici (1549–1609) proclaimed Livorno a free city, it became a haven for people suffering from religious persecution; Roman Catholics from England and Jews and Moors from Spain and Portugal, among others, settled here.

Corsica's northern capital, Bastia, is the centre of commerce and industry and a thriving freight and passenger port. Commerce, more than tourism, is its main focus, providing employment for many Corsicans. Bastia's industrial sprawl, however, is offset by its aged charm. The presence of an overwhelming Italian atmosphere adds to the city's attraction.

Amid the resorts of Sardinia's northeastern coast, Olbia, a town of about
60,000, is a lively little seaport and port of call for mainland ferries at the
head of a long, wide bay.San SimplicioOlbia's little Catholic basilica, a short walk behind the
main Corso Umberto and past the train station, is worth searching out if you
have any spare time in Olbia. The simple granite structure dates from the 11th
century, part of the great Pisan church-building program, using pillars and
columns recycled from Roman buildings.

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind and catch up with what you’ve been meaning to do. So whether that is whale watching from the Observatory Lounge, writing home to your loved ones or simply topping up your tan by the pool, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shore side.

The medieval cliff-hanging town of Taormina is overrun with tourists, yet its natural beauty is still hard to dispute. The view of the sea and Mt. Etna from its jagged cactus-covered cliffs is as close to perfection as a panorama can get—especially on clear days, when the snowcapped volcano's white puffs of smoke
rise against the blue sky. Writers have extolled Taormina's beauty almost since it was founded in the 6th century BC by Greeks from nearby Naxos; Goethe and D. H. Lawrence were among its well-known enthusiasts.

An ordered line of palm trees watches out over the shimmering waves along the huge seafront promenade of appealing Santa Maria de Leuca. Sitting at the tip of the jutting heel of the Salento peninsular, which stretches out into the Adriatic towards Albania, the mighty lighthouse, which towers 102 metres over the waves, is one of the most important in Italy, and it keeps a watchful eye over the narrowing sea pass here. Ascend high above the picturesque harbour, to the monumental lighthouse that soars 47 metres upwards, into the bright blue sky.

Dubrovnik is one of the world's most beautiful fortified cities. Its massive stone ramparts and splendid fortress towers curve around a tiny harbor, enclosing graduated ridges of sun-bleached orange-tiled roofs, copper domes, and elegant bell towers. In the 7th century AD, residents of the Roman city Epidaurum (now Cavtat) fled the Avars and Slavs of the north and founded a new settlement on a small rocky island, which they named Laus, and later Ragusa. On the mainland hillside opposite the island, the Slav settlement called Dubrovnik grew up.

Venice is a city unlike any other. No matter how often you've seen it in photos and films, the real thing is more dreamlike than you could imagine. With canals where streets should be, water shimmers everywhere. The fabulous palaces and churches reflect centuries of history in what was a wealthy trading center between Europe and the Orient. Getting lost in the narrow alleyways is a quintessential part of exploring Venice, but at some point you'll almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, where tourists and locals congregate for a coffee or an aperitif.

Explore the scenic beauty of Monaco and the legacy of Princess Grace during this memorable half-day sightseeing tour of the Old Town. Grace Kelly, who became the Princess of Monaco, was obviously enhanced by privilege but also circumscribed by duty. She became a supporter of charities and cultural events and much of her time was devoted to her three children.

The 'Wedding of the Century' enamoured the world when Grace Patricia Kelly (1929-1982), the Philadelphia-born, Academy Award-winning actress, married Monaco's Prince Rainier III (1923-2005).

Castles and historic mansions in Italy have traditionally been family inheritances; Italy and France have a few notable examples of estates that survived their respective political upheavals. These are also notable because of their new found rarity. Make an exclusive visit to the Castle of Castagneto owned by the Della Gherardesca Counts.

Meet your English speaking guide and your driver at the port and drive towards Castagneto Carducci, approximately 1-hour away. This is one of the most popular villages on the Etruscan Coast of Tuscany.

Castagneto Carducci

Perched on a hillside less than 10km (6.2 miles) from the sea, the village centre of Castagneto has grown around the imposing medieval castle located on the hilltop. The city was called "Castagneto Marittima" until the beginning of 1900s when its name was changed to "Castagneto Carducci" in honour of Giosuè Carducci, one of the greatest Italian poets of the XIX century who spent part of his childhood here. Walking through the village you will come across the imposing Palazzo Comunale, with its dominant position at the beginning of Via Marconi, a long street that makes its way downhill towards the coast. It houses the city's Town Hall and its offices.

Castle Della Gherardesca

A very pretty lane leads you to the 10th century Castle where you will enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the period rooms and family portrait gallery. Enjoy the spectacular view from the original rampart walk running between two lovely enclosed gardens. Today, this is a lived-in castle and a private mansion, not normally open to the public. It has belonged to the same noble family of the Counts della Gherardesca for 32 generations, where the siblings of the current generation come to spend their summer holidays and reside during the year. You will experience the pleasure of walking through the gates of the castle to get into the small cobblestone streets of the picturesque village, having set off in a very unique and privileged way of discovering it. Take a glimpse of the local country lifestyle, with many wonderful, unique and exclusive photo opportunities. The modern use of the house hasn't erased its history which lives through the family portraits, the period furnishings, the maps and the family trees with the most pedigreed Italian lineages intertwined. The coat of arms itself embodies the major characteristics of the dynasty: Half Imperial Eagle, granted by Frederick I Holy Roman Emperor; red, evoking heraldic copper and the enemies' blood; gold symbolizing the land and fortified castles property of the family that allowed the defence of Tuscany from the costal invasions of Moors and Saracens. All of this speaks in the language of the eldest spirit of the Tuscan art of war.

The Gherardescas are without a doubt unyielding: they are probably the only Italian family inhabiting the same place for over 1200 years. They've always made it through the centuries, assail after assail, due to many different alliances and political skills, at times amongst Guelphs and Ghilbellines. After a visit of their wonderful and historic Castle, you will be served drinks and canapes in the garden or in one of the state rooms. After, enjoy some time to roam free in the village of Castagneto Carducci with is charming alleyways and shopping.

Re-board your coach for the approximate 1-hour drive back to Livorno.

Please note: This tour involves a minimal amount of walking for approximately .62 miles (about one kilometres) over paved, gravel and cobblestone ground, with a few steps to negotiate at the castle. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Lightweight, comfortable clothing, flat, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection are recommended. Space on this tour is very limited; we suggest you book in advance to avoid disappointment. Please note that due to the exclusivity of the location some dates may be cancelled at a later stage due to the specific request of the family.

The aroma of freshly-ground coffee is often the first to reach you from one of the coffee stalls. Following your market visit and shopping, proceed for a tasting of a local speciality made from chick pea flour, 'torta di ceci', then walk back to the Aragosta restaurant with the chef.

Interactive Cooking Class with Lunch

Upon arrival, begin your interactive cooking class. Learn about and help make fresh pasta with a delicious and traditional tomato sauce. Some local dishes are also part of the class. Seafood 'panzanella' is a rich and delicious variation on the classic panzanella. The concept of poor cuisine, based only on ingredients that can be picked from the kitchen garden, is lost, but the result is a new interpretation full of flavour. Fish balls are a delicious and light dish, and a specialty of this restaurant. Dessert consists of 'tiramisu', which is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, and flavoured with cocoa. Following your cooking class, enjoy a lunch consisting of the dishes you've helped to prepare. At the conclusion of your visit, commence the short walk back to the pier.

It is home to three of the world's most renowned museums, the Uffizi,

Galleria dell'Accademia and the Bargello, and boasts an incredible number of important churches that house equally-important master works.

A walker's city, the centre of Florence is a compact labyrinth of alleys and piazzas. During your visit, the Ponte Vecchio, Boboli Gardens, Pitti Palace and the Duomo are but a few of the many exquisite sights the city has to offer.

Discover the exquisite beauty, art and architecture of Florence during a full-day tour of this historic city, along with some time for independent shopping and exploration.

Florence is the Italian city most celebrated by artists and poets. Each street, palace and building is living evidence of its glorious past and proud people.

Depart the pier in Livorno via coach for the approximate two-hour drive to Florence, with a comfort stop made en route. Upon arrival, meet your guide and commence your walking tour of the city.

Piazza del Duomo

Your tour begins at the Piazza del Duomo, where an inside visit is made at the huge Cathedral, St. Mary of the Flower. The church is adorned with an impressive façade decorated in white, green and pink Tuscan marble. Highlights to be seen during your visit include the Bell Tower, designed in 1334 by Giotto, and the Baptistery. Its celebrated doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise', were commissioned in 1401 and designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti.

Piazza della Signoria

Your next stop is the Piazza della Signoria. It is Florence's second major piazza, and the political centre of the city because of its Town Hall, or 'Palazzo Vecchio'. The Piazza della Signoria is also known as an open-air museum thanks to its many statues, which include Cellini's Perseus, Giambologna's The Rape of the Sabine Women, Ammannati's Neptune Fountain and a replica of Michelangelo's famous David.

Ponte Vecchio

Your tour continues on with a visit to Ponte Vecchio, also known as the 'Old Bridge'. Ponte Vecchio dates back to 1345, and is the only bridge in Florence to escape being blown up during World War II. It originally housed the workshops of the butchers before they were driven away by the Grand Duke, Ferdinando I, due to the terrible noise and stench they created. Ponte Vecchio was subsequently used as a workplace for goldsmiths and silversmiths; their shops still remain here to this day.

Piazza di Santa Croce

The final stop on your guided tour is the eastern quarter of Santa Croce, home of the Piazza di Santa Croce. Upon arrival, an outside visit is made to the Franciscan Basilica that dominates this large square. Over the years, the basilica's construction involved a renowned cast of Florentine architects and masters, including Brunelleschi, Vasari, Giotto and Donatello. Each summer, the Piazza Santa Croce plays host to the 'Calcio in Costume'. During this historical game, the hefty men of the four quarters of Florence battle it out in an ancient mix of wrestling and soccer, and are cheered on by residents and visitors alike. For most of the year, however, the square is a peaceful open space surrounded by stately palazzo, and intimate pizzerias and restaurants.

Following your guided tour, ample time is made available for lunch on your own and shopping. At the conclusion of your visit, walk from the Piazza Santa Croce to the pick-up point at Lungarno Pecori Giraldi, then re-board your coach for the 1.5-hour return drive to the pier.

Please note: This tour requires an extensive amount of walking, some of which is over cobblestone streets. It is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. On Sundays and religious holidays, inside visits of cathedrals and churches are not possible due to religious services in progress. Headsets are provided during the guided tour of Florence.

Indulge your senses with the splendid beauty of historic Lucca and the Garden of Palazzo Pfanner during this half-day sightseeing excursion. Lucca deserves to be seen and admired not only for the works of art it encloses, but also for being a rare and precious example of an almost intact historic centre.

Lucca and Church of San Frediano

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive to medieval Lucca. The impressive walls surrounding the city date from the 16th century, and enclose and isolate Lucca in their green parks, gardens and promenade. Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour through the town and its nearly-intact historic centre. Your first stop is at the Church of San Frediano (outside visit), popular for the large Byzantine mosaic inserted in its façade.

Roman Amphitheatre and Cathedral of San Martino

Next, proceed for a visit to the Roman Amphitheatre. Built outside the walls in the 1st or 2nd century, it is dotted with cafés and shops, and among the highlights of the town. Afterward, stop by the 6th-century Cathedral of San Martino for an outside view.

Piazza San Michele and Palazzo Pfanner Garden

Leaving the cathedral, continue on to the Piazza San Michele (outside visit only). Located near the ancient Roman Forum, it has remained the centre of town for centuries. Your last stop is at the lovely Palazzo Pfanner Garden, which abuts the city walls and is centred on a large fountain and pool. Upon arrival, you are served prosecco wine and snacks in the garden.

Your tour concludes with some free time for shopping before re-boarding your coach for the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking and standing for approximately two miles (about 3.2 km) over some cobblestones, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and 10 steps at the churches.

Explore the fascinating streets and squares of Lucca during a scenic and memorable half-day tour of this historic medieval city. Lucca endears itself to everyone who visits, hidden behind imposing Renaissance walls with cobbled streets, handsome piazzas and shady promenades; it makes for a perfect destination to explore by foot.

Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Lucca. Upon arrival, your tour begins inside the massive red bricks walls, which were built between 1504 and 1645, and are amongst the best-preserved Renaissance defenses in Europe.

Lucca

Lucca is enclosed by massive red brick walls, which help to give the city its special character by shutting out traffic and the modern world. Within these walls, Lucca is a peaceful city of narrow lanes, preserving intact its ancient Roman street plan. Unlike several other Tuscany's cities, Lucca is flat; many locals use bicycles, which impart an additional charm to the city. This memorable outing is ideal for those looking to experience a Tuscan city that is rich in history, art and architecture, but is hidden from the crowds of tourists.

Church of San Michele

Along the way, an outside visit is made to the Church of San Michele in Foro, which stands on the site of the ancient Roman Forum. It has a wonderfully-rich Pisan Romanesque façade that competes in splendour with that of St. Martin.

Guinigi Tower

Another outside visit is then made to the Guinigi Tower, one of many in Lucca that belonged to the Guinigi family, rulers of the city in the 15th century. The tower has a small roof garden, with some trees sprouting incongruously at the top.

Anfiteatro Romano

Next, proceed to the Anfiteatro Romano, formerly the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Today, it is enclosed by medieval houses that were built up against the walls of the amphitheatre. It's perfectly-preserved shape reminds us that Lucca was founded by the Romans in 180 B.C.

Church of San Frediano

From here, continue on to the Church of San Frediano, which is adorned with a striking façade and a 13th-century mosaic (outside visit only). Inside, there is a splendid Romanesque font and beautiful frescoes. In the chapel dedicated to Santa Zita, her well-preserved body is interred.

Church of San Martino

Your next stop is the Church of San Martino (outside visit only). Lucca's extraordinary cathedral, its façade abuts incongruously on to the campanile. St. Martin is the Roman soldier depicted on the façade dividing his cloak with a sword to share with a needy beggar.

Via Fillungo

The guided portion of your visit concludes at Via Fillungo, Lucca's principal shopping street, which winds its way through the heart of the city towards the Roman Amphitheatre.

Following your walking tour, some free time is made available for exploring the area and browsing the shops at your leisure before re-boarding your coach for the return drive to the pier.

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking for approximately 3.5km (2.17 miles), some of which is over cobblestone surfaces, and there are steps to climb. It is not suitable for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. There will be an exterior visit only should a mass be in progress at the church.

Discover the beauty of Pisa during this scenic, half-day tour of the city's historic landmarks, including the world-renowned Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Since the beginning of the tourist brochure, Pisa has been known for just one thing, the Leaning Tower. However, this world-renowned landmark is but one component of the city's amazing religious core, the Campo dei Miracoli. Here, the Duomo, Baptistery and Camposanto complete an unrivalled quartet of medieval masterpieces. These and a dozen or so churches and palazzo scattered about the town belong to Pisa's 'Golden Age', which took place from the 11th to the 13th centuries when the city was still a port, and one of the maritime powers of the Mediterranean.

Pisa

Depart the pier for the approximate 45-minute drive to Pisa. Upon arrival at the parking area, walk to the Campo dei Miracoli and commence the guided portion of your tour.

Campo dei Miracoli

Since it was first laid out, Pisa's ecclesiastical centre has been known as the Campo dei Miracoli, or 'Field of Miracles'. The sight of it is as stunning today as it must have been to medieval travellers. Nowhere in Italy are the key buildings of a city arrayed with such precision, and nowhere else is there so beautiful a contrast of stonework and surrounding meadow.

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Your next stop is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (outside visit only). Underneath the pavement and turf of the Campo dei Miracoli lies a platform of saturated sandy soil, whose instability accounts for the tilting of the Leaning Tower. Begun in 1173, construction of the tower subsided when it had reached just three storeys in height. Over the ensuing 180 years, a succession of architects continued to extend it upwards until it was finally completed and topped with a bell-chamber in 1350. Leaving the Leaning Tower, proceed to the Duomo.

The Duomo

The Duomo was built in 1064, a century before the Campanile. With its four levels of variegated colonnades and subtle interplay of dark grey marble and white stone, the Duomo is the archetype of the Pisan Romanesque style; a model often imitated but never surpassed.

The Baptistery

A visit is then made to the Baptistery. The third building of the Miracoli ensemble, the circular Baptistery is a bizarre mix; its three storeys of Romanesque arcades peak in a crest of Gothic pinnacles and its dome is shaped like the stalk of a lemon.

Piazza dei Cavalieri

Leaving the Campo dei Miracoli, visit the Piazza dei Cavalieri. One of Pisa's most interesting sites, the Piazza dei Cavalieri is a large square that opens unexpectedly from the narrow back streets, and includes the site of the Roman Forum. The central civic square of Medieval Pisa, the Roman Forum was subsequently remodelled by Vasari and became the headquarters of the Knights of St. Stephen.

Palazzo dell'Orologio

On the western side of the square is the Renaissance-adapted Palazzo dell'Orologio. In 1208, the military leader Ugolino della Gherardesca, along his sons and grandsons, was starved to death in its tower as punishment for his alleged duplicity with the Genoese enemy.

Following your guided walking tour, some free time is made available for independent exploration before walking back to the parking area and re-boarding the coach for the approximate 45-minute drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking for approximately 2.6km (1.62 miles) with some steps to climb. It is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilise a wheelchair. Tour includes an exterior visit of the Leaning Tower only. Recently re-opened, admittance to the Tower is strictly limited and not possible on this excursion.

Learn the secrets behind the cultivation, production and award-winning flavours of Super Tuscan wines during this half-day excursion to the Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci wine regions. Amongst the most enthralling and diversified wines in Italy, yet there is probably no term in Italian wine that is more slippery, vaporous and misunderstood than "super Tuscan".

Bolgheri

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximate one-hour drive to Bolgheri. En route, listen to the guide's commentary as you pass through the countryside of the Maremma region and take in splendid vistas of the cypress trees, olive groves, vineyards, gently-rolling hills, and the Tirreno Sea. Next, see the ancient castles and watchtowers dotting the rocky cliffs of the Mediterranean coastline, then drive along the famous 'Viale del Cipressi' before reaching the village of Bolgheri.

Argentiera Estate

After some free time to explore Bolgheri at your leisure, re-board the coach and proceed to the Argentiera Estate. Located on the coast of Northern Maremma approximately 31 miles (about 50 kilometres) south of Livorno, Argentiera is both the closest estate to the sea and the highest in altitude. It stretches from the plains up to the hills, and offers splendid views from Baratti in the south to Castiglioncello in the north, along with the islands of the Tuscan archipelago.

Winery Tour and Tasting

Upon arrival, take a guided tour of the estate, learn about the growing and production processes, and visit the cellars for a tasting of their Super Tuscan wines. These wines are some of the most prized and expensive wines in the country; some Argentiera wines have won international awards and were featured in Wine Spectator. Following your tour and tasting, re-board your coach for the approximate one-hour return drive to the pier.

Please note: This tour requires a moderate amount of walking (for approximately 1 km / 0.6 miles), with approximately 20 steps to negotiate at the cellars. This programme is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or for those who utilise a wheelchair. Guests must be able to embark/disembark the coach via steps.

Experience the spectacular beauty and magnitude of Europe's most active volcano during this memorable journey to Mount Etna. Sicily's greatest natural attraction is also its highest mountain, rising 10,910 feet (3,326 metres) above sea level. To the ancient Greeks, Mount Etna was the realm of Vulcan, the god of fire and the home of the one-eyed monster known as the Cyclop. The famous landmark is reached via a scenic drive along the coast and up the slopes, which are covered with solidified lava.

Here, explore the site, walking across hardened lava rock and along the edge of the craters whilst imagining how they appeared thousands of years ago when they were filled with hot lava. Caution is advised; watch out for crevices and slippery ground. More than 100 eruptions have been recorded since the 4th century BC, the most recent (at time of this printing) in March of 2013. Evidence of this latest activity is still visible.

Discover the splendid beauty, flavours and history of one of the pearls of the Ionian Sea during this memorable, half-day excursion to the Old Town of Gallipoli.

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 75-minute drive to Gallipoli. The Old Town is located on a tiny island dividing the deep Ionian Gulf into two branches; Taranto to the north, and Leuca, the southernmost Apulian town. Both Taranto and Leuca are connected to Magna Grecia, the main Ionian region. The medieval Old Town of Gallipoli is dominated by the huge Baroque Cathedral, and its houses are painted in warm, Mediterranean colours. Olive oil production was a great source of wealth here during between the 17th and 19th centuries. Exports of olive oil were so huge that many underground factories and cisterns were carved out of the local limestone (carparo). Fishing was, and still is, also vital to the local economy; Gallipoli's marketplace has always been one of its most characteristic sites to visit during summertime.

Old Town, Town Centre, Castle, Fountain, Baroque Cathedral and Paintings

Upon arrival in Gallipoli's Old Town, begin your guided tour of the town centre. Along the way, see local fisherman repairing their nets, and pass by and learn about the interesting history of this medieval town, its Castle and Renaissance-style Fountain. A visit is made to the stunning Cathedral, which is completely covered with wonderful Baroque paintings.

Underground Olive Oil Factory, Tasting of Apulian Specialities

Next, learn about the town's traditional olive oil production techniques during a guided tour of one of the 35 underground oil factories, which were recently restored. In addition, discover how hard life was for the people employed there; living among animals, and leaving the factory only after the several months-long production process was completed. Following your guided tour, proceed for a tasting of delicious Apulian specialities, including taralli and focaccia with olive oil, accompanied by wine. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 75-minute drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking for approximately 1.5 miles (about 2.4 kilometres), at times over uneven and cobblestone surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, five steps at the Cathedral, 15 steps at the factory and 30 steps to access the coach. Walking in Gallipoli is at the discretion of each guest. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair.

Lecce & Aperitif in a Palace

Explore the beautiful Baroque city, flavours and noble lifestyle of Lecce during this splendid sightseeing tour. Your full-day excursion visits the Cathedral, Archbishop's and Seminary Palaces, Piazza Sant'Oronzo, Basilica of Santa Croce, and a noble palazzo for a guided tour, aperitif and tasting of local specialities.

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour and forty-five minute drive north through the beautiful Apulian countryside en route to Lecce, renowned for its grand Baroque architecture and the impressive, lavish décor on its buildings. The local sandstone, tinged with a warm yellow nuance, is so easy to work with that it prompted the rise of a local style (Lecce Baroque) as ornate and intricate as any the world has seen. Lecce's architectural splendour was further enhanced by the local stone masons who left their mark on this city, covering its buildings with fanciful cherubs, monsters, flowers, fruits, beauties, and beasts. Far off the beaten tracks for most of Italy's art-loving visitors, Lecce is situated on the south-eastern tip of Italy's boot, and astounds visitors with its lesser-known magnificence.

Upon arrival in Lecce, your guided walking tour begins at Porta Napoli, one of the oldest gates to the town. Narrow streets filled with beautiful palaces lead you to Piazza Duomo, where the magnificent Cathedral and Archbishop's Palace are located. A visit is made to the Cathedral, built between 1659 and 1670 by Giuseppe Zimbalo on a pre-existing Romanesque church. The main façade, facing both the Archbishop's and Seminary's Palaces, is modestly decorated, while the side façade facing the square is an explosion of Baroque architecture with Lecce's patron saint, Saint Oronzo, in a triumphal arch. Leaving the Cathedral, visit both the Archbishop's and Seminary palaces.

Next, proceed on-foot to the Piazza Sant'Oronzo, which lies in the heart of the town. This is the site of the most important local, ancient Roman ruins, a 20,000-seat Amphitheatre dating from the 2nd century, and a column which originally stood in Brindisi to mark the end of the Appian Way. Continue walking along the little alleys en route to the most famous of Lecce's many highlights, the Basilica of Santa Croce. During your guided walking tour, marvel at a variety of intricately-detailed statues and ornaments.

Noble Palazzo Tour, Tasting of Local Specialities with Wine, Free Time

Leaving the Basilica of Santa Croce, the highlight of your tour is a visit to a stunning, noble palazzo. Located on a magnificent corner of the Old City, this hidden gem is just steps away from the Cathedral, and listed among the most noble palaces and buildings in this city of Baroque architecture. Upon arrival, you are greeted by the owners of the palazzo, who personally escort you on a tour of this exquisite, noble house. Following your guided tour, proceed to one of the halls of the palazzo for an aperitif and tasting of local specialities surrounded by splendid antiquities and nobility. Following your visit, some free time is made available to explore the narrow and beautiful streets of Lecce's town centre at your leisure. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board the coach and commence your drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking for approximately two miles (about 3.2 kilometres), at times over uneven and cobblestone surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach, ten steps at the Cathedral, ten steps at the Basilica and 20 steps at the Palazzo.

Explore the splendid history, sights and Baroque architecture of the 'Florence of the South' during this panoramic, half-day sightseeing excursion to Lecce.

Apulian Countryside, Lecce, Baroque Architecture

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive north through the beautiful Apulian countryside en route to Lecce, renowned for its grand Baroque architecture and impressive, lavish décor on its buildings.

The local sandstone, tinged with a warm yellow nuance, is so easy to work with that it prompted the rise of a local style (Lecce Baroque) as ornate and intricate as any the world has seen. Lecce's architectural splendour was further enhanced by the local stone masons who left their mark on this city, covering its buildings with fanciful cherubs, monsters, flowers, fruits, beauties, and beasts. Far off the beaten tracks for most of Italy's art-loving visitors, Lecce is situated on the south-eastern tip of Italy's boot, and astounds visitors with its lesser-known magnificence.

Upon arrival in Lecce, your guided walking tour begins at Porta Napoli, one of the oldest gates to the town. Narrow streets filled with beautiful palaces lead you to Piazza Duomo, where the magnificent Cathedral and Archbishop's Palace are located. A visit is made to the Cathedral, built between 1659 and 1670 by Giuseppe Zimbalo on a pre-existing Romanesque church. The main façade, facing both the Archbishop's and Seminary's Palaces, is modestly decorated, while the side façade facing the square is an explosion of Baroque architecture with Lecce's patron saint, Saint Oronzo, in a triumphal arch. Leaving the Cathedral, exterior visits are made to both the Archbishop's and Seminary palaces.

Next, proceed on-foot to the Piazza Sant'Oronzo, which lies in the heart of the town. This is the site of the most important local,ancient Roman ruins, a 20,000-seat Amphitheatre dating from the 2nd century, and a column which originally stood in Brindisi to mark the end of the Appian Way. Continue walking along the little alleys en route to the most famous of Lecce's many highlights, the Basilica of Santa Croce. During your guided walking tour, marvel at a variety of intricately-detailed statues and ornaments. Following your visit, some free time is made available to explore the narrow and beautiful streets of Lecce's town centre at your leisure. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board the coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier.

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking for approximately two miles (about 3.2 kilometres), at times over uneven, cobblestone and slippery surfaces, with ten steps at the Cathedral and ten steps at the Basilica. Walking in Otranto is at the discretion of each guest. This tour is not suitable for guests with limited mobility and guests who utilise a wheelchair. Lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes and sun protection is recommended. Proper attire is required to enter the Cathedral and Basilica; shorts and bare shoulders are not permitted.On Sundays, church holidays and during weddings, groups are not allowed inside the churches during services. Guests must be at least five years old to participate on this tour. Guests may have the chance to visit the churches independently, quietly and reverently. Guides are not permitted to enter and talk during church services.Photography and videography are prohibited inside the churches.Shops are open from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Restroom facilities are located in cafés and restaurants; the purchase of a small snack or beverage is recommended in order to use the restrooms, and is at the expense of each guest. The tour sequence may vary.

Marvel at some of the most beautiful landscapes in southern Italy during this picturesque, full-day sightseeing excursion.

Southern Italian Seafront and Villas

Depart the pier for the scenic, 2.5-hour drive along the 'heel' of southern Italy's 'boot' direction North-East of the Apulian Region. Pass by the seafront, or 'lungomare' and marvel at the stately villas. The oldest one, Villa Romasi, dates from the late-1700s, but almost all the others, very beautiful and rich with history, were built in the second-half of the 19th century. They are characterised by more than 10 different shapes and architectural styles, including Ionic, Gothic, French, Tuscan, Pompeian, Moresque, Arabian, and Chinese.

Santuario of Madonna di Leuca and Lighthouse

Your first stop is at a revered shrine, the Santuario of Madonna di Leuca. In front of it stands the 157-foot (48-metre) Lighthouse, one of most important of its kind in Italy, along with a large square that sticks out like a wide balcony and offers splendid panoramic vistas overlooking the sea and Old Town below. From here, your scenic route takes you up-and-down the beautiful Salento Coast, home to several caves typical feature of the Apulian region.

Ponte Ciolo, Castle Ruins, Santa Cesarea

Next, a photo stop is made at Ponte Ciolo, another famous viewpoint near Leuca where the sea enters the coast and forms a sort of little fjord. Driving along the coast, see the castle ruins and ancient walls of Castro before reaching Santa Cesarea. A photo stop is made here in front of Villa Sticchi, known also as the 'Cupolone di Santa Cesarea' for its big dome. The villa is perched on the cliff, and features impressive Moorish architecture.

Salento Countryside, Local Snack and Wine

You will then drive through the Apulian countryside proceeding to a renowned farmhouse/winery of the area for a taste of local specialties and wine. After the refreshment stop, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 90-minute drive back to the pier via the Salento countryside. En route, pass by rows of olive groves, almonds, figs, carobs, peaches, and vineyards.

Embrace the natural beauty and traditions of Croatia during this scenic, half-day excursion to the lush Konavle Valley.

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive through small, picturesque villages en route to the Konavle Valley, and a visit to Ljuta. Upon arrival, proceed for a visit to the Old Water Mill, Mlinica Dvori, which is still in use today. Experience a look into traditional Croatian life during this tour, and demonstration of an historic, water-powered stone mill. The mill system was extremely important for the economy of Konavle and the Dubrovnik Republic as a whole. The river and its upper streams are now protected as public parklands, with its mills preserved as historical and cultural monuments to the traditional way of life dating back to the 15th century. Following your tour, refreshments of orange juice, homemade liqueur and dried figs are served.

Next, re-board your coach and continue on towards Gruda Village, where Antonia Ruskovic has kept up the tradition of handcrafted silk production. Silk is one of the oldest textile fibres known to mankind, and, during the Roman Empire, it was sold for its weight in gold. Here in the Konavle Valley, near Dubrovnik, women continue this process not for profit, but for the sake of tradition. During your guided tour, learn about an explanation of the whole process, from cocoon-boiling to thread-reeling, dyeing, plying, weaving, and embroidering. Following your tour, you are invited to partake in this tradition by producing a thread of silk yourself, then served refreshments of tea, homemade liqueur, soft drinks and homemade chocolate cake.
